Haldir's lament (instrumental with lyrics)

This is an instrumental version of a soundtrack from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. With clips from movie and lyrics. No copyright infrigments intended.

I made this track in Audacity, using the original soundtrack (to get backround voices). The rest of teh track is written in Finale. Sorry if it sounds crappy or raspy when the choirs comes in, but my Audacity - a sound editing program - hates me right now. (I don't think you notice when you sing). Also, there lyrics aren't totally right, because all letters with ´or ¨something are removed so there are just simple letters.

Lyrics (choir is in between () here, not written at all in the video - some choir is never heard in the video because I couldn't fit it in):

Ar sindan (óriello) óriello caita (mornië)
Ar ilyë tier undulávë (ar il)
lumbulë (...bul..)
--
The lyrics are a part of a poem written by Tolkien (in Quenya):

Ai! Laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met,
ar hísië untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!

Translation (but not literal):


Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
long years numberless as the wings of trees!
The long years have passed like swift draughts
of the sweet mead in lofty halls
beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda
wherein the stars tremble
in the voice of her song, holy and queenly.

Who now shall refill the cup for me?

For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,
from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
and out of a grey country darkness lies
on the foaming waves between us,
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!
Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!
--
So the lyrics means, "And out of a grey country darkness lies...And all paths are drowned deep in shadow..."

"Out of a gray country darkness lies

And all paths are cloaked in shadow."

Those are the lyrics. :) They are taken from part of a Lament for Lorien song that Galadriel sings in the book...
